This is a serious question.

With the tendency of Tesla vehicles to explode into fiery infernos, how can we be sure if a reported arson attack against a Tesla is actually an arson and not just business as usual?

@realtegan The perfect vehicle for false flag operations.

@realtegan @Klaxun

If you miss a lease payment they send the self destruct code then sue you for arson.

@beatricejess
Honestly? Unless they have video of someone attacking the vehicle, I'm just going to assume the Tesla exploded on its own because it's such a shoddy product.

@realtegan
Well police can find the causes of the fire.
They can say if it's gasoline or an exploding battery....

@beatricejess
At this point, do we trust the police to be honest and not to kowtow to the muskrat and his orange stain? I mean, the police are already protecting Tesla showrooms, why wouldn't they say whatever musky wants them to?

No, I won't trust a police investigation into this, either.

@realtegan
Yes, in a centralized state I would doubt, too.
But you have a federation. Not sure police will be on Trump's side anywhere in the USA...

@beatricejess
Ah, you aren't American... the police here, with very few exceptions, have gone almost full-on fascist. The larger the police force, the more likely it is to have actual neo-Nazis (tattoos and all) as members of the force in good standing.

American police are NOT to be trusted. They've been compromised for at least an entire generation, and before that they weren't exactly the good guys they've always claimed to be.

We do not have proper policing in the US.

@realtegan
Same here in France... Racists and white power.

@beatricejess @realtegan I guess police forces everywhere tend to attract people with strong authoritarianism tendencies. "Law and order" and all that.

I was looking at that picture of a police line in front of a Tesla dealership. They look more like paramilitary forces than police...
